Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Holds Strong In The UK Charts Top Ten

I was really surprised that we didn't see a Grand Theft Auto V announcement for the Switch.
Other missing games that I would love to see were Batman Arkham series, Bioshock collection, Injustice 2 etc.
I would say that the devs had plenty of time to port these games but it seems that they didn't or they don't care about the system.

Glad to see Mario Kart 8 Deluxe still preferable in UK.
But the others... Ugh.....

@Zuljaras I think it's there because of the Playstation sales. Speaking of that, amazing not to see Uncharted 4.
If Nintendo puts its games at 20€ each we would see different charts results maybe

This doesn't surprise me and could be proof of a slight downturn in the Switch's popularity. Tesco have been selling Switch games off due to poor sales. Our local Game, which is a very popular store, being in a small University city, has reduced it's stock of games due to poor sales.

I think Nintendo needed a more diverse showing at E3 to garner more interest in the Switch for its 2nd year.

For Nintendo fans, it was an ok E3 but for general gamers, not so.

I hope it picks up again soon. Maybe a couple of Directs will announce some new games. Panic Button promised a new port.

@Zuljaras Fallout 4 seems to be there all the time, for some odd reason.

@SmaggTheSmug I'm not sure if it counts towards sales but a lot of shops are throwing Fallout 4 in free with consoles, so that could be the reason.

@Monkeyofthefunk That could be it.
I wish the first two Fallout games were remade, or at least given an "enhanced edition" like Baldur's Gate did. Fallout 1 and 2 blew D&D-based games out of the water back in the day.

@Monkeyofthefunk really? I thought it was doing ok I’m surprised to hear that

I should play some Mario Kart, haven't played it for ages.

"Do you think Mario Tennis Aces will make a big impact on the UK charts?"

No.

There are a bunch of games coming up that look sooo fun on the Switch! Hell I already bought Octopath Traveller and Crash N. Sane Trilogy! Nintendo needs to do more to advertise them and push them. While Smash is awesome, it's still only one game. Aside from the 2 I mentioned, we've got Disgaea, Valkaria Chronicles, Dark Souls, Pokemon, Smash, Mario Tennis, Wargroove, Wolfenstein, Captain Toad, Mario Party, Starlink, Travis Strikes Again, The World Ends with You, Okami, Fire Watch, Fire Emblem, Yoshi, and those are just the ones I personally want.

Frankly I don't buy that people aren't interested in all that. I do buy that many people don't know about them or know they are coming to Switch.

@sandman89 The console has been selling well but it's now settled back down and is 2nd to PS4 again, by a decent margin. Still selling much better than Xbox though.

It seems Japan is where the huge Switch Sale figure are. We have to remember that it's summer, so sales drop off anyway.

Tesco sold off Kirby Star Allies for £10 and won't be stocking it again. It seems the same will be happening with FIFA 18 and a few other games as well.

@chardir that will be a big indicator of how well Switch is doing at the moment.

@Monkeyofthefunk Also got to remember this is the one country where the Switch wasn't setting sales records, so using the UK as a catch all example doesn't really work.

No point in beating a dead horse. Line up on Switch been rubish last 5 months - Tropical Freeze is already out of the top 30.

But with Ys8, Shining, Octopath, Flipping Death on the way And decent BattleChasers and Hollow Knight out. At least now things starting to look better regardless if they chart or not.

If you see it as a handheld, that is a great run.

I never understood the appeal of God Of War. It just seems violent for the sake of being violent. I do find it funny how little it is selling in Japan compared to everywhere else. Seems like they have the right idea!

I really though they would announce a new 1080 at e3 for end of this year ☹️

Sony's Days of Play Sales is what cause Nintendo's evergreen titles to be pushed down to the bottom of the Top-sellers list.

Though Mario Kart 8 DX seems immune to everything and keeps chugging along.

In fact, Mario Kart 8 DX and Zelda Breath of the Wild are charting better right now than they did during this same time period in 2017.

@Agramonte, This is the UK, not North America, Japan, or the rest of Europe that the switch is still selling well. I work at a Walmart, and every time we get Nintendo switch in the store, within days it sold out.

@ekwcll Obvious we commenting about the UK. You have no new Data from the rest of Europe so that is an assumption. And last 3 NPD in the USA the Switch was outsold by the 5 year old PS4. There stacks of them at my local GameStop here in NYC.

So Outside of Japan it is not dominating like last year. No point in sugar coating it - they needed to make more compelling games - And they on their way

@tourjeff I'd love to see the Arkham Games on the switch. Hopefully soon; I'm growing restless...
